DESKTOP ENGINEERING OPENS TECHNICAL CENTER IN SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN TO
PROMOTE COMPANY'S ENGINEERING SOFTWARE AND ENGINEERING CONSULTING
SERVICES.

(Mahwah, New Jersey -- September 14, 1993) Desktop Engineering today
announced that it has opened a technical center in Southfield, Michigan.
Desktop Engineering will use the new office as the focal point in actively
marketing a wide range of engineering services including computer-aided
software development, computer-aided engineering analysis, engineering
testing programs and structural/mechanical engineering consulting. The
technical center will also be the hub for servicing the many users of the
company's packaged software products including the DE/CAASE computerized
engineering handbook.

Desktop Engineering is one of the leaders in the field of computer-aided
engineering software development having pioneered the concept of the
computerized engineering handbook. A computerized engineering handbook
puts at the engineer's fingertips information that was once buried in a
cumbersome hardcopy manual or handbook. This tool has dramatically reduced
the time required to perform most everyday engineering functions by
guiding the engineering through the necessary equations and performing all
of the required calculations.

Desktop Engineering is also a leader in the field of computer aided
engineering analysis having used these techniques to provide accurate
analytical results and optimum designs to companies such as John Deere,
Purolator, American Iron and Steel Institute, General Electric, DuPont,
Spar Aerospace and Energy Research Corporation and others. Desktop
Engineering's expertise covers structural mechanical analysis including
finite element analysis, stress evaluation, investigation of structural
failures, fatigue and fracture analysis, strength of materials testing and
development of computer-aided engineering software.

Desktop Engineering is associated with Columbia University's renowned
testing laboratory. This 25,000 square foot laboratory provides nearly
unmatched structural and materials testing capabilities including
universal testing machines, fatigue testing and strain gauging facilities,
data acquisition systems, machine shop equipment, vibration and acoustics
laboratory and photoelasticity capabilities. Desktop Engineering's
capabilities also include dent resistance testing to determine denting
energy and local buckling effects in automotive applications. The
company's investigative engineering services take advantage of both the
testing laboratory and unique computer-aided engineering capabilities to
analyze structural mechanical failures.

The new office will directly support all of the company's packaged software
products including AISI/CARS which largely automates the process of
designing steel body sections. The CARS program was developed by Desktop
Engineering in an unprecedented example of cooperation between the
automobile industry and its North American steel suppliers. Chrysler, Ford
and General Motors teamed up with the American Iron and Steel Institute's
Automotive Applications Committee (AAC) to sponsor this product. According
to an AISI spokesperson, "CARS will be used as a competitive tool to
maximize the use of steel in the automotive industry." The program's
application mode provides numerical and graphical solutions to over 215
equations and 35 design procedures. The reference mode quickly and
selectively accesses over 500 pages of text, design procedures, tables,
equations, figures and other information.

DE/CAASE, Desktop Engineering's most popular product, greatly reduces the
time required to solve structural/mechanical engineering problems by
helping the user select the proper equation, prompting for required
inputs, automatically solving the equation and providing graphical
illustrations. The program incorporates solutions to over 5000
structural/mechanical engineering applications found in over 100 reference
books. It includes 41 modules grouped into categories including Geometric
and Material Properties; Beams and Columns; Rings, Arches and Frames;
Plates, Shells and Pressure Vessels; Natural Frequencies and Dynamics,
Stresses, Cables and Springs; and more. The release of Version 4.0
provides a completely new graphics user interface that operates in a
Windows-like environment on UNIX and MS-DOS operating systems.

Desktop Engineering is a software developer and distributor specializing in
engineering applications with headquarters in Mahwah, New Jersey. The
company's other products include DE/Mec and DE/Cartes. DE/Mec allows
complex mechanisms to be designed, analyzed, optimized and animated with
virtually zero learning time for anyone used to laying out mechanisms on a
traditional drawing board. DE/Cartes is a "virtual office" which provides
a revolutionary method of document, file and application management on a
personal computer or network. Desktop Engineering has Desktop Engineering
Technical Centers in the United States, England and Canada and
representatives throughout Eastern Asia and Europe. All Desktop
Engineering products are available from authorized dealers located
throughout the world.
